I'm a Newbie as I notice that what newcomers are called on here. I have been enjoying taking photographs for many a year. I have just bought some new kit, a Canon EOS 7D and three excellent Canon lenses. I am retired and the new stuff Iv'e just bought is great. Any comments however critical would be greatly accepted and appreciated.

Welcome, don't know a great deal about Scarborough, though I do remember having a pint at the 'Hole in the wall' if I not mistaken, not sure about the kippers in Whitby either, fish & chips at the Magpie was always recommended, anyway looking forward to seeing more of your work, perhaps some local sights?

Ahhhhh another shooter with the right camera. Not saying Nikon is not. But....... We welcome you to the hog Graham, and your first post is really good for shooting thru 2 layers of glass...But then again how can you miss with a 7D.
Rich..... oh i use a 60D.

If you are shooting through glass.use manual focus on
your subject through the glass.should get a sharper photo.
